The second T in FITTE refers to?

• A. Frequency
• B. Intensity
• C. Time
• D. Type

Answer: (D)

In this framework, the idea is to prescribe exercise by four elements: how often you train, how hard you train, how long each session lasts, and what kind of activity you choose. The second T specifically points to the kind of exercise you perform—the mode or modality. That means selecting activities like running, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, or yoga. The type you pick determines the specific adaptations you’ll get, and it matters for what goals you have and what you enjoy or can safely do. For example, if the goal is cardiovascular fitness, you could choose brisk walking, cycling, or swimming—the exact activity (the type) will influence which energy systems you train and how your body responds. So the second T is about the modality of exercise, not the duration or intensity, which is why it’s the correct interpretation in FITTE.
